>> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show with jon stewart." captioning sponsored by comedy central [theme music playing] [cheering and applause] >> jon: heroin everybody. welcome. welcome to "the daily show." my name is jon stewart. tonight's guest, sonia nazario, author of the book, "enrique's journey," about a young honduran boy who comes to america to find his mother, and not as the title might lead do you believe, an inspiring tale of enrique iglesias's battle to accept the

mole that was on his face and obviously i don't want to give away the ending, but he has it removed. [laughter] but first, over the past few years, new york city has done an awful lot to clean up times square. you been down to times square? it is not the romantic junkie haunted, crack infested, behookerred playground we all love. gone are the days you have to worry about masked stranger demanding that you hand over all your money. well, almost. >> 25-year-old junior bishop dressed as spider-man took a photo with two people. when the couple attempted to give the man $1, bishop says he only takes $5, $10 and $20s. a police officer stepped in, telling the couple they can donate whatever they want. the officer asked for bishop's i.d. he said he didn't have an i.d.

>> jon: [whispering]: his real name is peter parker, p-a-r-k-er. he lives with his aunt in queens. [laughter] and it's his fault uncle ben died. [audience reacts] it was his fault! spider-man caused that. he wasn't spider-man at the time. he was peter parker and he didn't realize with great power comes great responsibility, but he bleep uncle ben. nobody can tell me any different. [laughter] anyway, something tells me this little thing here is not going to end well. >> the officer told bishop he was going to place him under arrest. that's when police say bishop punched the officer in the face. [audience reacts] >> jon: with great power comes

lack of impulse control. [laughter] i guess the real question everybody has in this situation is: did batman think that the police were justified? >> you hear what happened at staten island. somebody get choked just like that. he could get choked for that. you know what i mean? [laughter] >> jon: bruce! bruce! we can see your face, bruce. [laughter] of course, the incident batman is referencing was an incident where police got out of control in staten island. it was a tragic case of eric garner. >> eric garner is the staten island man who died in police custody after an alleged chokehold. >> mr. garner was selling what's called in new york city loosies,

untaxed cigarettes at 75 cents apiece. >> jon: sure, that's how it starts. but the next thing you know, that guy's selling gum one stick at a time and pringles by the chip. [laughter] pringles singles or springles, as they're known on the street. well, we can at least hope eric garner's senseless death marks the end of excessive force by police. >> the new york city police department says up to 1,000 reports of suspects being placed in illegal chokeholds may now have to be reviewed. >> nypd officials say the entire force may have to be retrained. >> jon: okay, retraining lesson number one: this is a camera phone. when that is pointed at you, officer, stop strangling the person. [laughter] for more, we turn to senior... [cheering and applause] oh, okay.

i'm sorry. i didn't know senior black correspondent, i didn't realize we were talking about racial issues. i thought this was going to be the senior police misconduct correspondent or... [laughing] >> jon, you're so funny acting like they're not related. not funny, jon. >> jon: right. >> this bleep has to stop already. >> jon: that's what i was going to say, but black people aren't the only ones who get mistreated by police. we've all seen the videos of the white kids there in the protest getting sprayed. >> jon, please, that's pepper sprayed. they're just getting seasoned. [laughter] besides, i don't even count them as white people. they're hippies. they're just dirty. >> jon: fair point. but do you really think police aren't as quick to choke out a white person as black person? >> let's compare. eric garner was politely asking

the cops to leave him alone. here's a white guy in michigan last month threatening the cops with a rifle, and look. now he's... jon, he's waving his [bleeped] at them. they're getting to [bleeped] him up bad. what? they're going to sit and have chat? you got to be [bleeped] kidding me. [applause] >> jon: well, all right. >> no, jon, i mean, he was asking for a chokehold. >> jon: at the leaves. >> no, seriously, he was asking for a chokehold, and they still didn't give it to him. i mean, this guy could have shot his way out of fallujah. the only thing eric garner was brandishing was his black. >> jon: to be fake it is dangerous for the comped the in the west village, three officers shot chasing down a pedophile. the nypd has made huge strides in diversity. >> jon, black cops can beat black people, too.

i'm not saying you should, just that you do. this isn't a white cop issue. this is a cop issue. >> jon: is it something about the uniform? >> i once dressed as a cop for halloween. by the end of the night, i was choking brothers. it's difficult. >> jon: maybe change the costume to captain america. this year marvel announced captain america is now going to be black. that's an advance. >> very nice. [applause] >> jon: that seems somewhat sarcastic. >> i know. so they really think a black superhero is going to change things? you know he's going to spend all his time answering questions, why you always seem to show up at crime scenes? not to mention the outfit is red and blue. so you're with the bloods and the crips. >> jon:, yeah, it would be like, how did you afford that shield? what, did you steal it, hubcap and the america?

>> hey, hey, whoa, jon, come on. >> jon: i thought we were doing a bit. >> i'm just messing with you, jon. after all these years, you don't after all these years, you don't know that ♪ ♪ break the ice, after all these years, you don't know that with breath freshening cooling crystals. ice breakers.

>> a 12-hour humanitarian ceasefire between israel and hamas. >> there were no civilians being shelled. there were no rockets in the skies of tel aviv. >> jon: finally a ceasefire that, okay, 12 hours. only scheduled to last as long as decent dose of sudafed, but still. [laughter] it is some relief. we can build on this. >> sunday it took all of ten minutes after the fragile ceasefire expired at 8:00 a.m. for hamas to send rockets into israel. >> jon: [bleeped]. [laughter] i guess the real question is: what was going on during those ten minutes? hello. people, humanitarian ceasefire ended ten minutes ago. ticktock. the never-ending hatred in this region isn't going to bomb itself. [laughter] things are spiraling out of control. i think it's time far higher

authority intervene. >> early this morning the united nations security council convening an emergency meeting. >> an emergency midnight meeting. >> jon: stand back, bitches. the u.n. is in town. you mess with the ban ki, you get the moon. and this isn't some pansy ass u.n. general assembly meeting. this is the u.n. security council emergency meeting, the big dawg, the power playaz, the original kings of diplomacy that. includes china, russia, france, the u.k., the united states, the countries that probably gave the weapons in the first place. [laughter] but still, throwing down an emergency midnight meeting, [bleeped] is about to get real peaceful. >> the u.n. security council called for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire. >> jon: boom! unconditional. not that such resolutions are in

any way enforcable or meaningful, but still, when a resolution is issued... >> the united nations security council took action with a statement, not a resolution. >> jon: even a resolution was too much? guys, i don't know, a resolution seems pretty stern, pretty stern, guys. even a statement, i don't know. i don't... what's the death toll, 1,000 and growing? what about we just jump in with an... [laughter] hey, guys, you know, if that gets pushback, we can take it down a. no we're only a collection of the world's superpowers. turns out the security council is about as strict with the mideast as museums are with their admission price. anybody else, anybody else want to take a crack at this? >> during his weekly address,

pope francis said, "i ask you with all my heart, stop, please." >> jon: your holiness, i could not agree more, but i have to say, sheriff, not sure this particular fight is your jurisdiction, you know what i'm saying? i don't know if they're going to listen. sort of like when the duke boys get over the county line, sorry, roscoe, it's their problem now. so the u.n. and the pope cannot do anything but shake their heads at this situation and sigh. is there anyone else that has the gravity, the authority, the international goodwill to step into the ring? >> secretary of state john kerry heading back to the middle east to try again for a ceasefire between israel and hamas. >> jon: anyone? anyone else? anyone? is there anyone else who has the authority to [bleeped]? [laughter]

all right. give it your best shot. >> israel's security cabinet has unanimously rejected secretary of state john kerry's proposal. >> jon: wow. unanimously. jews don't usually agree 100% on anything. that's... this is a good marble rye. it's dry! actually, the best comment about this ceasefire stipulation from kerry for my money came from a very senior israeli government official, who described kerry's ceasefire proposal as "a strategic terrorist attack." [audience reacts] what? [bleeped] all right. that stings a bit. a short-term ceasefire agreement that includes stipulations disagrees with is a strategic terrorist attack against you? you, john kerry, have hit us with a strategic terrorist

attack, and also the iron dome system your country helps us develop and fund. we could use another $300 million or more to top it all. we've been using it a lot lately. come on! at least kerry's keeping his chin up. >> it's never easy, but that doesn't mean you stop that. doesn't mean you turn away. you have to keep doing it. remember what nelson mandela said: it always seems impossible until it is done. >> jon: soily just put you down for "seems impossible."

[cheering and applause] >> jon: welcome back. my guest tonight is a pulitzer prize winning author of "enrique's journey," the story of a boy's dangerous odyssey to reunite with his mother. please welcome to the program sonia nazario. hello. nice see you. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> jon: obviously we'd love to say that this situation has gotten better since the time of this very acclaimed "enrique's journey." when did you write this, about ten years ago? >> yeah, i went to honduras 13 and ten years ago and was writing about these women who come here, single mothers, leave their children behind in central america, mexico, and the children who follow them and make this modern-day odyssey on top of freight trains to come searching for their mothers. i learned about it through the story of one boy who does.

this. he doesn't see his mom for 11 years. after 11 years he's desperate to be with her, and he makes this incredible journey on top of freight trains. >> jon: dangerous and filled with beatings and violence and all kinds of terrible things happen to these kids as they're make this journey. >> incredible danger. i did the journey for three months to write about what this is like. they face bandits, gangs i would see controlling the train top, roaming from car to car, raping, killing these children. i rode with a 12-year-old boy. there were 7-year-old boys making this journey alone across four countries coming in search of their parents. >> jon: for the most part back then, the issue was poverty. >> poverty and reuniting with the parents. >> jon: and reuniting with the parents, but the parent had gone for poverty. how has the condition changed in honduras now? >> so i went back to honduras to this boy's neighborhood last month, and i was just shocked by

the change that i saw, enormous growth in violence because there were gangs back then, but now in the last few years, these narco cartels, we stopped the flow of cocaine from colombia up the caribbean to the united states. we spent $8 billion to do that, but it simply rerouted inland to honduras. so all these cocaine flights going to the u.s. land there, and these narco cartels, mostly mexican, are really fighting for control over this turf. and these children have become their foot soldiers. so they're trying to recruit these children at a very young age to use drugs, to distribute drugs, serve as lookouts and ultimately serve as hitmen for these cartels. so they had a grip on his neighborhood, and children living in just enormous fear, had been threatened multiple times by the time they were 11

years old. >> jon: so this is the situation we're in now with 40,000 kids, 45,000 kids that have come up from central america, which has been inundated with these turf wars, these drug turf wars. >> right. >> jon: and they get to our border, and we do what? >> well, i think we need to see these children for what they are. they are refugees. they are fleeing... an immigrant who comes here for economic reasons, for a better life, i understand the impulse to deport that person. i'm not an open-borders gal, but these children, and i talked to an 11-year-old boy who said, you know, they are beating me in my school trying to force me to use drugs. i know three people who have been killed this year. my elementary school, these 12-year-old narcos show up and they say, all of these kids have to go with me, these ten-year-olds, to distribute crack in my school. so these children are fleeing for their lives, and i think it's really an extraordinary moment for us to stand up and do the right thing for these children. >> jon: why is it so hard to do

that? [applause] you see these immigrants, maybe a bit of a right turn, but i spent a little bit of time in jordan last summer. this is a country with it must have been six million people in it. they have very little in terms of resources, water, oil, they don't have in that country. refugees are pouring in by the hundreds of thousands from syria, from iraq, and they do everything in their power to give those people refuge and asylum. >> and we tell them to. >> jon: and we line up at the border and yell at them. >> that's right. >> jon: so i think it's embarrassing for our country. >> it is embarrassing. i think republicans have used these six year olds as punching bags ahead of the primary playing to their base, saying these kids are criminals and they're carrying ebola. they're simply playing to the lowest common denominator, these anti-immigrant feelings, and president obama, instead of

saying, let's give these kids a real due process, let's let them go to court and see if... >> jon: which is the law, the 2008 law that president bush signed is that if you come from central america and you're seeking asylum, you are owed due process. >> and shame on him for trying to change that law. he's trying expedite their removal. >> jon: president obama? >> president obama wants to change that law so these kids are not given their fair day in court where they can argue whether they're refugees or not. they need to be given a full, fair hearing with an attorney on their side. i've seen in these courtroom, we allow murderers in this country, we provide them with a public defender, but an immigrant child is not provided with that. many of them can't afford an attorney. >> jon: what does a six year old who only speaks spanish need with an attorney? i'm sure our court system will sort it all out. >> they can present a complex immigration case all by themselves. right? no problem. >> jon: is there a humanitarian momentum building to begin to

states saying, look, we'll step in, we will house them or at least give them reasonable living conditions until this can be sorted out? >> i think i've seen the grassroots, many christian, evangelical, baptist groups who have stood up and said, we can help these children in these detention facilities. we want to do the right thing. but i think on a political level, these children are being used as footballs and many people are saying, how fast can we get rid of them. the president is trying to push mexico and guatemala to stop these children, to basically seal them into these countries where many of these children face death. it's a serious issue with these children. they have been threatened multiple times. and i think that we need to see these children not as an immigration issue, but as a refugee issue, like we did with cubans, like we have with haitians. there have been extraordinary moments in our history where we have stood up and said, we need

to do the right thing. that's what we need to do with these kids. >> jon: the right thing. the right thing. we haven't done that in a while, have we? "enrique's journey" is on the bookshelves now. thank you so much for being here. sonia nazario, thank you so much. it's the candy bar that's too hot for tv, in all its naked glory; stripped of chocolate, with nothing but salty roasted peanuts on soft sweet caramel. a payday bar will get you through your day. expose yourself to payday.
